Ministry of Health housing modifications

Ministry of Health-funded housing modifications for disabled people

The Ministry of Health funds Enable New Zealand to provide housing modification services. Our services are for eligible disabled people living in these areas:

North Island: all areas south of the Bombay Hills

South Island, Stewart Island, Chatham Islands.

We act as an independent moderator and expert advisor to the Ministry of Health. And we coordinate building industry experts to provide structural solutions to meet a person’s disability-related needs.

Housing advisory services

Our technical housing advisors ensure that building plans meet all requirements. For example, the New Zealand Building Code, local authority requirements, relevant legislation and budgets. They also liaise with our design and build services.

Design and build service

We manage a design and build service for Ministry of Health-funded housing modifications. We use a variety of consultants and builders and engage them directly. Visit our Disability Funding Information website for details.
